Botox Correction

Steven H. Williams, MD answers: HELP Fixing Botox brow

2 weeks ago I had BOTOX injected in my forehead (I have smaller forehead) and I wasnt aware of what "muscle relaxation" on my forehead muscle would mean for my appearance. Now, If I lift both my brows up at the same time i look evil. Front part of brow is now lower than before. If I dont lift both brows i look kinda normal my injector/MD suggested she could soften the look by injecting botox near/under the brow. Additional injection was yeterday and I am worried that I will get a flat brown or it will be worse

Thanks for your question -

It sounds like there has been a dramatic paralysis of the central portion of the frontalis muscle.  It sounds like your injector planned to further weaken some of the lateral aspects of the muscle to balance things out.

There isn't a great way to decrease the efficacy of Botox once its injected.  The effects will be temporary.  Hopefully the balancing injections will work out well.

I hope this helps.
